Barry Hess joins Ernest in studio to discuss libertarian issues - John Whitehead (Rutherford Institute) comes on to discuss new book, A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State - Charles Goyette provides us with a market update

Founded in 1982 by constitutional attorney and author John W.
Whitehead, The Rutherford Institute is a civil liberties organization
that provides free legal services to people whose constitutional and
human rights have been threatened or violated.

The Institute’s mission is twofold: to provide legal services in the
defense of religious and civil liberties and to educate the public on
important issues affecting their constitutional freedoms.

The Rutherford Institute is a 501(c)(3) organization, gifts to which
are deductible as charitable contributions for Federal income tax
purposes.

“John Whitehead is one of the most eloquent and knowledgeable
defenders of liberty, and opponents of the growing American police
state, writing today. I am pleased to recommend A Government of Wolves to anyone interested in learning how modern America increasingly
resembles a dystopian science fiction film instead of a Constitutional
Republic.”—Ron Paul, twelve-term US congressman and former presidential candidate

NEW YORK, N.Y. — In his new book, A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State (SelectBooks, 2013), constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead paints a
chilling portrait of a nation in the final stages of transformation
into a police state, complete with surveillance cameras, drug-sniffing
dogs, SWAT team raids, roadside strip searches, blood draws at DUI
checkpoints, mosquito drones, tasers, privatized prisons, GPS tracking
devices, zero tolerance policies, overcriminalization, and free speech
zones. Whitehead’s book reveals the inner workings of an increasingly
pervasive surveillance state, including the NSA’s program to track the
communications of all Americans and map the daily activities of all
people in the United States.

A Government of Wolves is now available for purchase online at Amazon.com and in stores on June 25. Review copies are available to members of the media upon request.

A Government of Wolves has been hailed by those on the left
and right of the political spectrum and at every point in between, for
its masterful chronicling of America’s shift away from the rule of law,
the U.S. Constitution, which historically shielded us from government
abuses. Drawing on his vast knowledge of history, culture, and law,
Whitehead compellingly argues that fiction has now become fact. Indeed,
with sci fi movies such as Minority Report, 1984, The Matrix, They Live, and V for Vendetta pointing the way, America has become that futuristic society of
celluloid fantasies in which a passive, uninformed populace gives rise
to an overbearing, out-of-control government. This is the future George
Orwell warned against. This is the present that Whitehead cautions could
become an endless nightmare from which there is no awakening unless we
act now. As American historian and nationally syndicated columnist Nat
Hentoff notes in his special introduction to A Government of Wolves:
“We have been through some troubling times before in our nation’s
history. There were the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 . . . the Red
Raids in the early 1920s . . . the Japanese internment camps of World
War Two . . . What we have now may be more insidious. Indeed, I believe
we are in a worse state now than ever before in this country. With the
surveillance state closing in on us, we are fighting to keep our country
free from our own government.”

John Whitehead is an attorney and author who has written, debated, and
practiced widely in the area of constitutional law. A prominent leader
in the national dialogue on civil liberties and human rights and a
formidable champion of the Constitution, Whitehead’s concern for the
persecuted and oppressed led him in 1982 to establish The Rutherford
Institute, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the defense of civil
liberties and human rights. As nationally syndicated columnist Nat
Hentoff observed about Whitehead: “John Whitehead is not only one of the
nation’s most consistent and persistent civil libertarians. He is also a
remarkably perceptive illustrator of our popular culture, its insights
and dangers.”
